Transcription factor IID fromSaccharomyces cerevisiae(YIID) binds the TATA box element present in most RNA polymerase II promoters. In this work, partial proteolysis was used as a biochemical probe of YIID structure. YIID consists of a protease-sensitive amino terminus and a highly stable, protease-resistant carboxy-terminal core. The cleavage sites of the predominant chymotrypsin- and trypsin-derived fragments were mapped to amino acid residues 40 to 41 and 48 to 49, respectively, by amino-terminal peptide sequencing. Removal of the amino terminus resulted in a dramatic increase in the ability of YIID to form a stable complex with DNA during gel electrophoresis mobility shift assays and a two- to fourfold increase in DNA-binding affinity, as assayed by DNase I footprinting analysis. The carboxy-terminal 190-amino-acid core was competent for transcription in vitro and was similar in activity to native YIID. DNA containing a TATA element induced hypersensitive sites in the amino-terminal domain and stabilized the core domain to further proteolytic attack. Native YIID did not bind to a TATA box at 0°C, whereas the carboxy-terminal DNA-binding domain did. These results suggest that YIID undergoes a conformational change upon binding to a TATA box. Southern blotting showed that the carboxy-terminal domain is highly conserved, while the amino-terminal domain diverged rapidly in evolution, even between closely related budding yeasts.
